10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève

On your own lot, the Montréal framework applies: placing a dumpster on private land is not subject to a municipal permit — it is the public domain that triggers one. The borough itself has published nothing yet on this precise point: its block on the “Installer un conteneur à déchets” page reads “Renseignements à venir” (5 boroughs out of 19 are in that situation). One call to 311 or to the permit counter settles it in a minute. On the street, however, the temporary occupation permit is explicit: it names containers on the public road — streets, lanes, sidewalks, bike paths, medians, public squares and parks.

Taxes included, at the rates posted on August 17, 2026: $50.80 to issue the permit and $56.70 in review fees, then $65 per day for up to 49 m² of street or sidewalk. Five days therefore start at $432.50 — “start at”, because the source also publishes an obstruction rate ($43.70 per day for a lane of 3 m or less, local or arterial road) without saying whether it is added; the official estimate appears in the summary of the online application. A detail worth money: the unpaved surface, back-of-sidewalk strip or lane costs $50.80 per day — less than the street. Posted processing time: 2 business days. The schedule is annual.

It changes the planning, not the service. The city writes it plainly: “the Jacques-Bizard bridge is the only road link between L'Île-Bizard and the island of Montréal”, carrying about 30,000 vehicles a day. The new bridge, in service since November 13, 2024, has four lanes — one more than the old one — and access on the mainland side is via boulevard de Pierrefonds. In practice: we avoid the bridge's peak hours and confirm the delivery window with you. During the Presidents Cup at the Royal Montréal Golf Club in September 2024, the official instruction for the screening system was, notably, to “let lettered trucks through without a permit sticker”.

For a trailer-load, yes — and it is a service only this borough offers. At 985 montée de l'Église, residents drop off their construction debris free of charge, twice a year per address, on proof of residence, up to 1.5 m × 3 m × 1.5 m per visit — 6.75 m³, about 8.8 cubic yards, less than a 10 yard dumpster. The site opens only on Tuesday and Thursday, and a hired contractor must be accompanied by the resident on site. The city says it itself: this is a “service de dépannage” — a stopgap for small quantities — and the other options should be favoured. For scale: a 10 yard box holds 7.6 m³, a 20 yard 15.3 m³, a 40 yard 30.6 m³.

None of the seven ecocentres in the Montréal network is located in the borough, or anywhere else in the West Island. The nearest in the network is Saint-Laurent, at 3535 rue Sartelon — one of only two, with LaSalle, where visits are unlimited. The agglomeration rules apply there: 12 m³ of construction debris free per year (about 15.7 cubic yards), then $31 per m³; “ecocentre staff do not help with unloading” and “no mechanical means (e.g. tipping box) may be used”. Closed Mondays; in winter, open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed Sundays. A 20 yard box (15.3 m³) uses up almost the whole quota in one go — and every trip from the island crosses the bridge.

Anywhere but on the leaching field — and the borough itself asks for that. Part of the territory is not connected to the municipal sewer: the borough issues septic and well permits, and its info sheet requires every treatment system (tank, field, etc.) to be located in a spot “free of motor traffic” and “accessible for pump-outs”. A loaded truck and a dumpster full of aggregate are exactly what a leaching field cannot take. Tell us when you book: together we choose a spot that spares the field — and the truck's path too.

The published rules target vehicles: street parking is banned at night, between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., from December 1 to April 1, across the whole borough, as well as “during or for 24 hours after a snowfall of more than 2.5 centimetres” and during snow clearing. No page consulted names dumpsters — but a roadway closed every winter night leaves practically no room for a street occupation: the private driveway is the realistic path, and 311 settles edge cases. Think of the tempo shelter too: allowed without a permit from October 15 to April 15, but strictly “in the residence's parking space” — so the dumpster's spot gets decided before the shelter goes up.
